VIVA LAS VEGAS - SEASON PREMIERE

SEASON PREMIERE FINDS ED LOOKING FOR DANNY, DEALING WITH TOUGH NEW OWNER AND WARY OF THIEVES AS MONTECITO RE-OPENS; LARA FLYNN BOYLE JOINS CAST IN RECURRING ROLE-- In the third season premiere, Ed's (James Caan) got major problems as the revamped Montecito struggles to finish work in time to re-open on new boss' Monica Mancuso's (new recurring series regular Lara Flynn Boyle, "The Practice") schedule as he also tries to lure back Danny (Josh Duhamel) and his former staff to prevent a suspected "smash-and-grab" heist that has hit other casinos. But convincing Danny and the gang proves to be difficult since each has his or her reasons for leaving, and what's more, Ed suspects two construction hard-hats are planning an inside robbery once the Montecito's doors swing open again amid much fanfare. James Lesure, Vanessa Marcil, Nikki Cox and Molly Sims also star. Cheryl Ladd (Charlie's Angels") guest-stars.
